Awesome shot, Jose! You blew that guy's brains out with one shot!...over $200 in meat...from the wealthiest multinational chain...so instead of getting charged with a minor misdemeanor, he's dead. You sure showed him! Maybe Walmart will make everything a Blue Light Special for you!

FTFA:

"His life was not in immediate danger so he was not in fear for his life nor was he trying to defend someone else whose life is being threatened," Sampsell said. "There was no justification for the shooting."

What the hell is happening to this country. A man can't shoot at a stranger in a crowded parking lot for no reason? Thanks a lot, Obama.

GAT_00:Nina_Hartley's_Ass: No responsible gun owners around to stop this idiot?

What do you mean? This is what Responsible Gun Owners think safety looks like.

Um, that'd be a no. Saw that on the news last night and when they said he was facing felony charges, I said "good".

Of course, I'm one of the traitorous pro-gunners who doesn't have a problem with more extensive background checks and licensing. I would also love a written test to be added to the concealed handgun course that had questions similar to this situation. "Is Jose justified in firing off rounds into Eddie's car as he flees?" If you don't pass the farking test, you don't get the license.

I have it on good FARK authority that, for believing in any form of licensing, we're not just traitors but also idiots. If only we had examples of too many idiots or maniacs acting dangerously with guns, instead of nothing but a gigantic, disorganized mess of isolated incidents.

Question 2: You see a man in a parking lot shooting at a car traveling away from him. Do you:

A) draw your weapon and fire at the car?B) draw your weapon and fire at the shooter?C) draw your weapon and ask the shooter why he's firing at the car?D) start to wonder why either of you is carrying a gun?

How does someone who has a CCP think that is an acceptable situation to brandish and discharge a weapon? In most classes, that kind of situation is repeatedly drilled into your head as not acceptable.

However, I agree the class needs to be considerably harder and way less political in its contents. Considering we all took the written test "as a group," that part and the firing 30-50 rounds part was a joke.

I think there should also be a short online written test (or something) every year you have to pass to show you are aware of any new changes to the law and refresh your memory. I don't care if that test is hard or easy, as its main purpose is to bring attention to the information.

Oh and while I'm on my soapbox, an official website that lists all the rules and differences in CCP laws from state to state. Researching and parsing some of the variances can be unnecessarily time consuming when preparing for a trip.

I was kind of wanting to take a look at their test out there, because apparently it's incredibly easy. Do they even have one to get a CCW? I had to take training and a test and demonstrate a need for one to get a CCW, but I still needed to have it signed off on by the sheriff's department. I've heard, but am not sure if it is true or not, that in some areas you just need the sheriff's department or someone else with the authority under local laws to sign off on it, no training or testing involved. That's scarier than a test so easy it lets a dumbfark like dude in TFA legally carry a concealed weapon.

I'm all for an I.Q. test and a sanity test of some sort every six months to make sure the gun owner is both intelligent enough to own a gun and respect it, and hasn't gone nuckfuts crazy in the past few months.

If you go into a test like that talking about being able to defend against commies, Arabs, space aliens, or zombies, you don't get a permit.

If you can't figure out basic logic and get at least a 105 I.Q. score, you don't get a permit.

If you're suffering from any major mental health issues, you don't get a permit.

If you're dumber than a Kardashian, you don't get a permit.

And I especially think that when someone with a CCP does this kind of Rambo bullshiat with his gun, he should never be allowed to carry again. He should be permanently blacklisted, because he has shown he isn't smart enough, sane enough, or mature enough to handle the responsibility he has to the public when he's carrying.
